Burkina Faso is a landlocked country located in West Africa. It shares borders with six countries: Mali to the northwest, Niger to the northeast, Benin to the southeast, Togo and Ghana to the south, and Côte d'Ivoire to the southwest. The capital of Burkina Faso is Ouagadougou.

Burkina Faso gained independence from France in 1960 and has a history of political instability and coups. The country has a presidential system of government, with the president serving as both the head of state and government.

The economy of Burkina Faso is largely based on agriculture, with cotton, sorghum, and millet being the main crops. The country also has significant deposits of gold and other minerals, which have attracted foreign investment. However, Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world, and its economic development has been hindered by a lack of infrastructure and political instability.

In recent years, Burkina Faso has faced a number of challenges, including terrorism and violence related to Islamic extremist groups in the country's north and east. The country has also experienced a series of coups and political unrest. In 2014, a popular uprising led to the ousting of President Blaise Compaoré, who had been in power for 27 years.

Despite these challenges, Burkina Faso has a diverse and vibrant culture, with a rich tradition of music, dance, and craftsmanship. The country is home to a variety of ethnic groups, including the Mossi, who make up the largest group, and the Fulani, who are largely concentrated in the north and east. French is the official language of Burkina Faso, but many other languages are also spoken in the country.
